Edwardian 15ct Gold Diamond and Platinum Flying Duck Brooch

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

A very nice quality early 20th century (Edwardian-Art Deco) bar brooch or lapel pin in solid gold and platinum studded with rose-cut diamonds. The bar is mounted with a very pretty little duck in flight, its neck and head picked out in a lovely blue-green enamel complete with yellow beak.

Marked 15CT PLATM. Fifteen-carat gold pieces are not overly common (in the UK only really used between 1854 and 1932) and as this fineness was generally used in high quality pieces, it is attractive to collectors.

Secures with a safety pin fixing with a tiny latch for additional security.

In excellent antique condition.

Size: 5.8cm long, the duck measures approximately 2 x 1.5cm.

Weight: 4.1g.

FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

This Edwardian bar brooch or lapel pin dates from the early 20th century. It is constructed from solid 15ct gold and platinum, set with rose-cut diamonds and finished with blue-green enamel and a yellow beak. The piece takes the form of a flying duck mounted centrally on a straight gold bar, complete with an enamelled head, a safety pin fastening, and a tiny latch. The metal surfaces display polished finishes and fine stone settings. The brooch measures 1.5 cm high, 5.8 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. It can be worn as an accessory on lapels, scarves, or garments, serving as a decorative personal item for formal or everyday attire in a home setting.

FAQs

Edwardian sporting jewellery frequently featured motifs associated with country pursuits, including game birds, horses, and dogs, executed in precious metals with diamond and enamel accents.

Pieces from this period commonly combined 15ct or 18ct yellow gold with platinum face settings to highlight diamonds, alongside coloured enamel detailing.

Authentic items often feature 15ct gold hallmarks, which were phased out in the UK by 1932, along with platinum top layers over gold mounts and millegrain edge setting techniques.

Bar brooches can be fastened to blazer lapels, secured on heavy winter scarves, or worn horizontally along a shirt collar for a subtle accent.

Clean gently with a dry soft cloth, avoid chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths which can damage enamel, and store separately to protect gemstones from scratching.
